Chapter 42 Steward Keli
I want to entrust a task... You may have found the wrong place... The brand of this security company is really just a brand...
When Klein heard the words of the visitor, he immediately complained, regretting that there were no forums and barrages to communicate here.
However, he quickly thought of something he had asked about, and the captain's answer was, if he had free time, why not take it? The money he earned could be used as a small treasury of the team and the welfare of the participants.
Luo Shan's eyes turned and she thought for a moment:
"Our security personnel have all been on duty, and the fastest one will take at least an hour to come back. If your matter is not urgent, you can consider it."
Among the six official members of the Night Staff, captain Dunn Smith was invited to the church by the bishop. He didn't know what to discuss, and Leonard Mitchell was guarding the "Canis Gate" for him.
"The Corpse Retriever" Fry and "Sleepless" Luo Yao Leting have gone to Jinwutong District to cooperate with the police department to investigate a theft with sectarian elements. Another "Sleepless" Cohenli White is on the turn of rest, while another "Midnight Poet" Siga Teon went to the "Raphael Cemetery" outside the suburbs of the northern area for daily inspections.
The remaining two extraordinary people, Old Neil, grew older and weaker, had not done any tasks for a long time, and Klein is still a beginner, and is a real half-baked person in all aspects.
"None are there..." The tall and thin man with a gray temple and an umbrella in his hand darkened his face. He took off his hat and bowed and said, "I've disturbed you, say goodbye."
He turned around and walked out the door, following the stairs along the stairs, 36 Zotland Street, amid the clamor of rain and howling wind.
"It's really a coincidence." Luo Shan sighed regretfully when the gentleman just left.
Although she won't have a share of the commission she received, she will definitely be able to share a big meal.
"There's no way, the Chanis Gate must be guarded at all times." Klein put down the knife and spoon contentedly, and even the soup of turnip and vegetables that he didn't like was clean. "Do you want Bright to go on a mission? Or, yourself?"
Luo Shan rolled her eyes and said with a smile:
"Bright can't do it, but you can, our 'Divorator' Mr...."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly woke up and stopped talking, because the door had not closed yet. If someone passing by or visiting outside heard about the extraordinary person's affairs, it would be a leak.
"Fortunately the captain is not here..." Luo Shan looked at the door and secretly stuck out his tongue, "Or else I have to regret it again!"
Bright and Klein laughed at the same time, looked at each other and began to clean up the tableware.
After doing all this, seeing the heavy rainstorm has not stopped, Klein, who has not brought an umbrella, chose to stay at the "Black Thorn Security Company".
He took a newspaper, sat on the soft and elastic sofa, and leisurely started a "lunch break".
"The airship route from Beckland to Disi Bay has been opened..."
"The Great Detective Mangson" is compiled into a book and will be published soon..."
"Advertisement at the Lauglas Weapon Store? 1 standard revolver with 6 rounds, 3 pounds and 10 sul, a double-barrel shotgun 2 pounds..."
...
Klein looked through the "Tingen City Honesty People" and suddenly found a news:
"...The criminals who killed Mr. Welch and Ms. Naya have all been arrested. I believe that the panic atmosphere spreading in the North, Jinwutong and East will be greatly alleviated... Welch's father, banker Mr. McGovern, escorted the body of his youngest son and returned to Conston City, where a grand funeral will be held..."
After reading it several times, Klein suddenly sighed:
It seems that Welch's father has believed the police's remarks and has not invited private detectives to investigate...
He had the mood of losing his youngest son, and he was definitely not as sad as my father and mother who lost their only son...
His emotions suddenly became deep, and Klein sat there, without any movement for a long time.
As for the funeral of Welch and Naya, he did not find it strange or depressed at all.
When everything is calm, I will find another opportunity to go to the graves of both of them to offer a bouquet of flowers... Klein was waiting to take a nap in the lounge when the door of the reception hall suddenly rang again.
"Please come in." Luo Shan's head was gradually awakened.
The empty door was pushed open, and the tall and thin man in formal attire and gray-skinned sideburns walked in again.
"Can I wait here for a while? Your mercenary, no, the security personnel should be back soon, right?" He asked sincerely, trying to hide his anxious expression.
"Yes, you can sit there for a while first." Luo Shan pointed to the sofa next to him.
Klein asked curiously:
"Where did you hear about our security company? Who introduced you to?"
So much so that you go back and forth twice at noon when the rain is heavy, and are willing to wait?
Well, the members of the Night Stand-On Team must have easily solved the difficult tasks in the eyes of others, and accumulated enough reputation in this industry...
The tall and thin man leaned his umbrella outside the door and walked towards the sofa and replied with a wry smile:
"I visited all the mercenaries, uh, security companies and private detectives in the nearby streets. Only you still have hope, and they have no one to take on other tasks... To be honest, if I hadn't met a waiter delivering food, I wouldn't have thought there would be a security company here."
…It was completely different from what I thought… Klein was stunned.
Luo Shan interrupted and asked:
"They are busy? So many tasks?"
The tall and thin man with gray temples sat down and sighed:
"You are a mercenary squad, no, security company. You must have heard of the robbery and murder case in the Houses neighborhood, right?"
Halls neighborhood... robbery and murder case... Well, unfortunately, I am one of the parties involved... Klein nodded slightly:
"Yes."
"Because of the viciousness and cruelty of the criminals, the wealthy people in the nearby neighborhoods and even the entire city of Tingen were scared. In addition to increasing their own escorts, they also hired a lot of security personnel and private detectives, which made it obvious that there was a vacant staff in this industry." The tall and thin man replied clearly.
The standard chain reaction... Klein and Rosan looked at each other and saw the self-deprecating on each other's face.
The security industry has entered a "golden era", and Black Thorns have no feelings at all, which shows how failed the company has opened.
Of course, in a sense, it also proves the hidden success of the Night Watch Team.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, seeing the heavy rain was about to stop, Klein was about to pack up and leave, and went to the "Shooting Club" to practice revolver.
At this moment, Leonard Mitchell, with black hair and green eyes, came out of the partition and looked at the sofa in confusion:
"Who is this?"
"Customer, is the captain back?" Luo Shan asked happily.
"Come back?" The tall and thin man was stunned when he heard this.
I was sitting here, staring at the door, why didn’t I find anyone coming back?
Luo Shan's expression froze immediately and he hurriedly laughed:
“As a security company, we won’t have only front doors.”
"I understand." The tall and thin man nodded suddenly.
As for the title of captain, he didn't find it strange at all. The security company was a former mercenary squad or small mercenary guild, so it was quite normal for "captain" to appear.
Leonard's white shirt was not tied up, and the black vest was also casually worn. He glanced at the tall and thin man, and suddenly snapped his fingers and said:
"I am the security officer of Black Thorns, what do you call me? Is there anything I want to entrust?"
Perhaps I had heard of the unruly and unruly of the "mercenaries", and the tall and thin man was not angry at being insulted, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
He watched Leonard sit down and organized his words:
"My name is Keli, and I am the housekeeper of the tobacco merchant Mr. Vickerel. His only son, Eliot, was kidnapped this morning. We have called the police and received enough attention. But Mr. Vickerel is not at ease. I hope to investigate from another direction through your mercenaries, uh, security personnel, and your understanding of Tingen. "
"If you can find a place where the kidnappers hide, Mr. Vickerl is willing to pay 100 pounds. If you have a way and smoothly rescue Mr. Elliott, he is willing to double the reward and give 200 pounds at one time."
Leonard Mitchell said leisurely:
"Mr. Vikroll only seems to want us to find a place where the kidnappers hide? Otherwise, he would not think that his only son is worth only £100, and the tobacco dealer who is closely related to the southern plantations would not be able to give out only £200."
"No, Mr. Vickerl is just an ordinary businessman and does not belong to the rich. Moreover, he believes that the police department is more professional in the rescue matter." The old butler Keli answered frankly.
"Okay, no problem." Leonard snapped his fingers again.
His green eyes looked at Luo Shan and said:
"Beautiful lady, please draw a contract."
"Don't always think that you are a poet. In fact, you can only recite other people's works." Luo Shan got used to mocking each other with Leonard, and forgot that there were guests present.
Of course, Black Thorn Security Company doesn’t care about any client. It doesn’t matter if there is one, and it doesn’t matter if there is one.
Luo Shan left the reception desk and entered the clerk's office. The striking sound immediately sounded.
Klein's mouth twitched for a moment, only to think that they were too unprofessional.
There is no standard, ready-made contract!
"This is really a sad thing..."
"What's even more sad is that I'm in such an unprofessional company..."
With his thoughts, Rona drafted a contract that was so short that there were only a few terms, and asked the butler Keley and Leonard Mitchell to sign the letters respectively.
When she got the seal in the carving, she took the contract and entered the accounting room, and asked Mrs. Oriana to put the seal of "Black Thorn Security Company" - this seal was almost useless, and Dunn usually gave it to Oriana for safekeeping. On Sunday, she would give it to Luo Shan and others.
"Waiting for your good news." After taking one of the contracts, the housekeeper Keli stood up, took off his hat and bowed.
Leonard did not respond, and was silent for more than ten seconds as if he was thinking about something.
He suddenly turned his head, looked at Klein, and smiled:
"I need your assistance."
"Ah?" Klein was stunned.
"I mean, this task is done by me and you," Leonard explained with a slightly curled mouth. "I am good at fighting, shooting, climbing, sensing and chanting, and doing some assistance, but not including finding people. You wouldn't want old Neil to go out in this kind of weather, right?"
When he talked about "sensing", his voice became vague and it was impossible to hear clearly.
"Okay." Klein had the urge to try new "skills" and was also a little wary of Leonard Mitchell.
Hu, I hope it can be completed smoothly... I don’t know how much role my “Divider” ability can play... He thought with some expectations.
Chapter completed!
